Easy, Solo Farming Skill Build | The Division 2

Hey folks, In this video, I'm going to break down a Skill build I've been using for those long, lazy farming sessions in Tom Clancy's The Division 2 as well as a few alternative talents because I know we don't all play the same!
This is also a great base for a skill build so take it, tweak it and make it your own!

Your narrating voice is very well spoken. Great tone that actually made this whole video very easy to listen to

[Stryshot]

I have a build almost exactly like this but using different gear. I'm using the rigger gearset as well as the waveform exotic. And for secondary I have a rifle with perfectly in sync. It's such a strong setup that is really easy to play, only issue is missions where there are emp's, then I am useless.

[villpada]

for my SKILL damage build, I've been running a 4pc RIGGER, Waveform, and a backpack with kinetic momentum for unli skills. damage is averaging at 100k/hit for the drone and 150k/hit for the turret. though damage isn't as much, take into consideration that 4pc RIGGER gives you unlimited skills by cancelling the turret or drone. so when a skill is about to die, just cancel then re-launch. also, Test Subject + Harmony for Perfect in-sync.

still looking for a god-roll Wyvern chest piece with Kinetic Momentun but for now, I'm good with this.

[donfripp]

Skill builds are king! I have been using one for ages, I can solo any heroic content and barely fire a shot! Nice vid...

[cswann]

Another great chest talent is Overwatch. Once you get in the habit of moving using cover to cover, you can keep that buff up almost full-time. And the great thing about Overwatch is that it's a team damage buff.

[Mindsculptor]

Haven't played d2 in a while. Have 4 characters at level 40 ran the old skill build with hard wired with btsu gloves back then which I enjoyed in solo runs. I'll definitely look into this setup looks good

[cheetoesfrank]

Exactly the kind of build I've been looking for

[MidwesternCornbilly]

I have been wanting to make a skill build but I had no idea where to even start. Time to take notes and search my inventory for these pieces...or reasonable facsimiles. Thank for the guide

[gankzgaming]

That door glitch at 14:06 happened to me and my uncle while we were leveling, if you mess around with taking cover on the box close to that door, it just kinda zoops you into the ceiling for a second before putting you back in bounds

[Xorital]

My build is almost exactly like this except I roll armor regen instead of skill haste. That's the only difference lol

[ibrahamm]

Welcome back abrax Long time no see hope you having a wonderful day finally we get a video from you miss your build

[matthewfowler]

Great video abrax glass canon Vs kinetic is like the marmite argument you either you love or hate it lol
Thank you for the options I will try them while doing summit
Keep the great videos coming 👍👍👍

I don’t care about the Segway, I care about content. Subscribed

[Robert-qrco]

Very good breakdown. Watched your video, found out that I was missing the body armor. Farming....farming, yes! This is the first time I can reliably do heroic difficulty. And easy at that. But...now it's boring! XD Your AR build gave me some ideas though... I've gotta look at my gear again - the last time I tried I didn't quite have the necessary quality. I like your content, very straightforward and with good alternatives.

[IBMobius]

Going to try making this build when I finish the halo infinite campaign (launches in 10.5 hours as 9f this post), have been testing builds gor legendary and so far my best is a tank that can resist almost a billion dmg in 10 min

[CrimsonWolf]

For a solo build specifically, respectfully, you have the right idea but some stats are effectively useless. I have tested all versions of this build.
'Glass Cannon' is very bad compared to Kinetic Momentum - for this build specifically. Because TOTAL Skill Damage is multiplicative you gain 5% overall more Skill damage from KM, but lose the 25% All Damage from weapon hits. Who cares? Your main damage source is Skills anyway - DPS wise you break even(tested). Now you also don't die stupidly easy.

Weapon: Capacitor, BIS. Secondary: any non-AR with 'In Sync' (i.e., not Test Subject, ideally 'Harmony') as backup for when you run out of ammo.
Holster: Waveform, BIS.
Backpack: Force Multiplier
Brand pieces: 3 x Empress. Then either 1 more Hana U or 1 Wyvern (either one gives +10% Skill Damage).

You don't need Skill Haste from mods/secondary-attributes. Skill Haste is a waste of time(ironically). You get enough from the gear bonuses to bring cooldowns to around 17 seconds, plus you can pick up the Turret anyway reducing this way further most of the time. Keep in mind that 99% of the time you can just double-tap turret to place on top of the ledge/wall/railing you're hiding behind and when you move just grab it. Very rarely do you actually need to throw it way up high onto something.

As such: both of the following SIGNIFICANTLY increases your survivability.
Gear Mods: Protection From Elites
Secondary Attributes: Skill Damage, Armor Regen (5 x Armor Regen nets you about 25k/sec).

This build is my super safe easy chill solo anything build. No other build is as cruisey.

I enjoy opportunistic on my skill build and pair it with scorpio. Imagine NPC's receive amplified damage from various sources: turret, drones, etc... total chaos. Just spam the scorpio behind cover without ever poking your head out.

[dragonvibin]

Just gotta say, the sniper turret slaps with a skill build

[TheRedStateBlue]

i'm still a pretty new player... only shd lvl 385 or so rn... had a capacitor and waveform in my stash and decided to put together a skill build. watched a quick vid on what i needed to look for for stats, spent a whole hour farming countdown for something passable, and holy crap... even with low shd levels and crap gear, skill builds are strong. i can easily solo some heroic main missions, and with more experience getting the spawn points and timing down, the rest should be easier and easier.

everyone needs a basic skill build.
